Usyk vs Fury 2: What time is the main event and when are both fighters' scheduled ring walksDAZN

Heavyweights Oleksandr Usyk and Tyson Fury step into the ring in the Kingdom Area on Saturday night (December 21), live on DAZN Pay-Per-View, for their much anticipated rematch in Saudi Arabia.

The undefeated Usyk put his three belts on the line - WBA, WBC and WBO - just seven months after his first success over Fury, which delivered the honoured title of the world's first heavyweight undisputed champion in the four-belt era.

The Cat comes into this one in Riyadh one belt down, after being forced to vacate the IBF title to Daniel Dubois. But that in no way lessens the intensity and meaning of this second encounter.

Fury knows this could be his last chance to win world honours again, and is highly motivated from that split decision defeat in May, the first of his outstanding career.

It is not a fight to be missed, click here to buy now on DAZN PPV for the very best coverage of fight night.

What time are Usyk and Fury ringwalks?

Both of these fighters have a history of putting on intriguing ringwalk shows. From the funny, to the grand, to the focused and serious, watching Usyk and Fury enter the ring could be as entertaining as the fight itself.
